Who knows when it comes to Trump, he changes his mind like Minnesota weather. Drastically too. Supposedly it's going to be on and the first lady is going to be involved. She does love parties and entertaining I guess. We shall see, when Monday arrives.

Hello, I enjoyed the old White House Easter Egg hunt photos. I wonder if they are even going to have the event this year. Great post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend! Happy Easter to you and your family!

Sometimes when I look at the old B&W pictures of events happening in the late 1800s and early 1900s, I wonder if the people participating in them might have had a little more fun at those happenings than we do because they were EVENTS not overshadowed by so much else going on as is the case today.

I can understand the old fashion Easter egg hunt as a traditional festival of Spring. But putting it on for 37,000 people? How many eggs have to be boiled and dyed? How long does that take? And then hiding them on a lawn? How much time does your three-year old get to collect a basket of eggs? 5 maybe 10 minutes? Then another 100 kids line up. That does NOT sound like a fun family outing, no matter who's President.

I don't really understand what happens at the White House Easter Egg roll. Do the winners of the egg roll races get chocolate eggs? Hopefully there are lots of consolation prizes for all the other participants, otherwise there must be a lot of sad little people there!

Karen these vintage black and whites are such a treat to see, merci beaucoup! As for your current president, I can't imagine this event will be nearly as organised or as much fun as previous years.. hopefully I'm wrong ☺
